DEPRESSION
Word from the Bible for Today
"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit."
- Psalm 34:18
REFLECTION
Depression can stem from a variety of causes, including genetic predisposition, chemical imbalances in the brain, traumatic life events, chronic stress, and prolonged illness. It manifests through persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a lack of interest in daily activities. A helpful Biblical answer to depression can be found in Psalm 34:18: "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." This verse offers solace by reminding individuals that God is near during their darkest times, providing comfort and strength. It encourages believers to seek God's presence and trust in His ability to heal and restore their spirits.
This is what it feels like to be Depressed
"Do not sleep. There is no condition more dangerous than that of sleepiness. Only when you are awake, can you wage a battle. therefore, be on the alert and fight, so that your life will speak of victory. For only when there has been a battle, can there be victory. And the victors, the over comers, are those who will be shown great honour and glory when they enter heaven."
Mother Basilea Schlink
“If you and your neighbor have a difference of opinion, settle it between yourselves and do not reveal any secrets. Otherwise everyone will learn that you can't keep a secret, and you will never live down the shame.
Proberbs 25:9-10
"For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy to be destroyed is death."
1 Corinthians 15:25-26
